Goodbye Haven Thorpe Park and Haven Allhallows - hello Haven Cleethorpes Beach and Haven Kent Coast!5/9/2023 Haven has rebranded two of its holiday parks after spending millions on refurbishments and upgrades. Haven Thorpe Park is now Haven Cleethorpes Beach whilst Haven Allhallows is now Haven Kent Coast. Here's what we know so far! Haven Thorpe Park is now Haven Cleethorpes Beach.Rumour has it that Haven Thorpe Park once had a visitor turn up thinking that they were visiting Thorpe Park Theme Park, which is 180 miles away. The lack of rollercoasters must have been a clue that something was amiss. Anyway, we can speculate that this confusion may have been behind the decision to change the name of the park to Haven Cleethorpes Beach. Personally, I think the new name is a good one. Haven Cleethorpes Beach is one of the Haven resorts which has easy access to a sandy beach so it is worth promoting that fact. The park had a big investment in 2022, when it was operating under the Haven Thorpe Park name. The main new addition was the Adventure Village with which was - at the time - Haven's biggest adventure village. Activities include a 'supersized' aerial adventure, a 'mini aerial adventure', 'The Jump' and a sports court for junior segway rides, football coaching and mini sports. They also launched a Bark Yard, which is a dog obstacle course (see other dog friendly holiday parks). In 2023, ahead of the renaming to Cleethorpes Beach, Haven opened a number of other upgrades at Haven Thorpe Park. That included a refurbished show bar, which went from seating 250 people to seating up to 1000 people. They also opened a new restaurant called Slim Chickens. Haven Allhallows is now Haven Kent CoastI'll be honest, I probably got a bit too excited when I saw that Haven Allhallows had been renamed as Haven Kent Coast. It has followed a very similar pattern to Haven Thorpe Park/Haven Cleethorpes Beach - massive investment and then a renaming. Haven call it their Parks of the Future plan. The big investment at Allhallows in 2022 included an Aerial Adventure and the Jump Tower as well as 'low ropes' for smaller children, a Bark Yard for dogs and an outdoor stage. More recently, they opened their Marina Lounge which now seats up to 1200 people and The Yacht Club, which is a 'dog friendly bar and entertainment venue'. There's also a new shop called the Wondershop and the 'UK's first ever walk-through Burger King'. In all, Haven has spent a whopping £18 million on upgrades at Haven Kent Coast/Allhallows.
